Profile

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Leeds (2012 – 2016), Research: Earthquake hazard from 36Chlorine analyses of elapsed time and stress transfer.

Stipendiary Lecturer in Earth and Environmental Science, University of Leeds (6 months, 2015), 3rd/5th year courses in structural geology and 2nd year field mapping course.

Research interests

I use a range of geochemical and field-based tools to investigate the rates and styles of continental deformation. My research is driven by making observations of deformation on a range of scales in time and space- from characterising fault slip over multiple earthquake cycles using cosmogenic isotope analyses on exposed fault scarps to investigating the evolution of deformation and mountain building over millions of years.
